Hi all,
This year was the first year I watched ALMS. I enjoyed parts of it, but I'm constantly frustrated at how long it takes to get racing going again after an incident.
Every time a leaf falls onto the track there's a full course caution. It breaks up the racing, takes at least ten minutes to sort everything, then they get a wave through, then the pits open, then there has to be a class leader behind the pace car.
Maybe I'm being too picky, but it really destroys the series for me, making me wonder whether I'll bother with the new United Sports Car Championship next year. Is there a reason they can't just yellow flag the corner where the incident is, or the sector? Am I missing something?
This isn't a rant thread, I'm just expressing my opinion of it as a new viewer this season and wondering what everyone else, especially long term fans, think of this?
Edit: Nah, I will watch it next year too, but you get my point
